The grid overlay places a simple rectangular grid over your image, with adjustable rows and columns. It's designed to help you break an image into smaller sections so you can study, compare, and draw one area at a time using the Grid Method.
How it works
Choose how many rows and columns you want, then place the grid over your image. You can toggle grid labels on or off for easier reference. Selecting a grid cell lets you focus on a specific area, and you can optionally hide the other cells to isolate that section.
Why it's useful
The grid helps you:
- Break complex reference images into manageable sections
- Focus on one part of the image at a time
- Compare placement and proportions more accurately
- Use the Grid Method to transfer reference images into your own drawing
Tips for use
Try working cell by cell instead of tackling the whole image at once. Use labels to keep track of each section, and hide the surrounding cells when you want to concentrate on a single area without distraction.
